Your water at a glance
Soft water. Know your mineral level.
This figure helps you choose appliance settings. Hardness describes dissolved minerals and does not establish whether every water-quality requirement was met.
87.4 mg/l as CaCO₃
Soft ≤100 · Slightly hard ≤150 · Moderately hard ≤200 · Hard ≤300 · Very hard >300 mg/l. DWI hardness bands; not safety grades.

Drinking-water results
What do the important results mean?
Read the status, sample range and source requirement together. A low average can hide an individual exceedance. Green labels mean the supplier reported no exceedances for that parameter and period; amber calls for source context.
Lead
No numerical limit supplied
Published mean
0.4 µg/l
Source reference: Not supplied
Plumbing can affect lead at an individual tap. An area average cannot rule out a problem with pipes at your property.
8 samples · Range: — to — µg/l
This report gives no numerical limit for this parameter. A higher or lower number is not automatically better.
Nitrate
No numerical limit supplied
Published mean
5.3 mg/l
Source reference: Not supplied
A dissolved compound monitored against drinking-water requirements. Its mean, highest reported result and sample count answer different questions.
8 samples · Range: — to — mg/l
This report gives no numerical limit for this parameter. A higher or lower number is not automatically better.
Fluoride
No numerical limit supplied
Published mean
0.03 mg/l
Source reference: Not supplied
Can occur naturally or be added through a fluoridation scheme. The concentration alone does not tell you whether it was added; a lower number is not automatically better.
8 samples · Range: — to — mg/l
This report gives no numerical limit for this parameter. A higher or lower number is not automatically better.
For your household
What should you do next?
Check appliance settings
Match the hardness unit to your dishwasher manual. Settings depend on the model.
Dishwasher guideUnderstand treatment options
A filter and a softener do different jobs. Start with the household problem you want to solve.
Filters and limescaleA new change at your tap?
For a new taste, smell, colour or supply problem, check current supplier advice. Annual data is not a live incident feed.
Official supplier help ↗Taste, appearance and mineral content
Chlorine, pH and minerals answer different questions. Calcium and magnesium help describe hardness; chloride is different from treatment chlorine. None is a stand-alone water-quality score.
How to read a water-quality reportHas the hardness changed?
History for this reported source area. Only comparable annual statistics appear in the chart; rolling summaries are kept separate. These are not daily tests at your address.
A comparable historical series is not available yet. We will add earlier reports when we can verify their periods and source areas.

Every result retains its original units, range, sample count and source notes. Comparisons use the reference printed in this report; qualitative references and missing limits are not converted into invented pass/fail judgements. Unlisted substances are not necessarily absent from the water.

Published area statistics are not a test at your home or a current incident report.
The cached checker did not retain an explicit reporting year. The source link may now show a newer period.
Status labels describe the published parameter and period. Historical exceedances do not automatically establish a current incident. Numerical limits are taken from the original report, not applied indiscriminately across countries, dates or sampling locations. DWI explains how standards work in England and Wales.
